Finally more RV-7 work

I started doing a little more on the RV-7 empenage today. First I had to clean up the garage a bit, even though it doesn’t look like it in the pictures. I used a soldering iron to remove some of the protective plastic from the areas on the horizontal stabilizer skin that I will be working on. Then I removed all the plastic from the inside of the skin. Later I started dimpling the holes that I could reach with the pneumatic squeezer. I’ll go back and finish up the rest of the holes using my C-frame and hammer. It’s good to be back in the shop!

Edge holes are all dimpled. I need to go back and catch the interior holes.
